The 56th annual Drama Desk Awards, a leading precursor of the all-important Tony Awards, were handed out Monday night in New York City with “The Book of Mormon” once again continuing its dominance.

The critically acclaimed musical from the creators of “South Park” nabbed five awards, including ones for best musical, lyrics, music, director and orchestrations.

Also taking home five awards was the revival of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” including an honor for best musical revival and one for its lead actress, Sutton Foster. “The Normal Heart” and “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo,” starring Robin Williams, each won two awards, while British import “War Horse” won the award for best play.

The live-action adaptation of “Battleship” is only "loosely" based on the Hasbro game, but the writers of “Candy Land” are really trying to think outside of the box.

Although the board game is easy enough for kids who can't read, the writers are aiming to create something more action-packed.

“We envision it as ‘Lord of the Rings,’ but set in the world of candy,” co-writer Jonathan Aibel, who’s penning the script along with fellow “Kung Fu Panda 2” scribe Glenn Berger, told Entertainment Weekly.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, reality TV producer Mark Burnett will be helming the series, which will be a "five-part, 10-hour scripted docu-drama with live-action and state-of-the-art CG" to air on the History Channel.

"This is probably the most important book in mankind, regardless of your beliefs or religious affiliation," History president and general manager Nancy Dubuc told THR. "This series will bring the historical stories of the Bible to life for a new generation."
